Genetic improvement of silage maize: predicting genetic gain using selection indexes and best linear unbiased prediction

Revista Ciência Agronômica
The objective of this study was to evaluate four selection indexes and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) for predicting genetic gain in maize hybrids used for silage. The genetic gain was compared between four selection indexes and BLUP.

Inheritance of the Panical Lenght in Hybrid Obtained by Top-Cross in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Journal of Agriculture and Plant Sciences, 2013
Subject of investigation are ten rice varieties (Oryza sativa L.) and their F1 and F2 generation hybrids obtained by top-cross, where two varieties (Monticelli and Loto) are used as a father, and eight varieties as a mother (M-101, Drago, Osogovka, Oanda,

Measurement methods and variability assessment of the Norway spruce total leaf area: implications for remote sensing [PDF]

, 2018
Estimation of total leaf area (LAT) is important to express biochemical properties in plant ecology and remote sensing studies. A measurement of LAT is easy in broadleaf species, but it remains challenging in coniferous canopies.
